Wow, if I thought the name Mahogany Desiree would get such trashy comments, I wouldn't have mentioned it. This is a real life baby. Her name was obviously chosen with a lot of pride and love, and to call it a "stripper name" is insulting -- it goes way further than providing your opinion. I hate that names chosen with pride by African-American people get this kind of commentary on this board.

Step off the soapbox honey. You have absolutely no legs to stand on in accusing Ariane

Were we suppose to know it’s an African American name??? No one is passing judgement on the bearer. Don’t post about names you don’t honestly want to know opinions about.
Btw, so it’s ok to call someone’s opinion trashy but not ok to give honest impressions of a combo? I’m confused

Opinions are fine. "I don't like this name" is an opinion. When we're talking about names, we're talking about the people who they represent, and our implicit judgments of them or their parents. I hate the "stripper name" comment. It's not an opinion worth sharing.

No, we aren’t talking about the people who wear the name. There may be some inherent judgement towards the bestowers of the name but not the bearers. You may hate a comment but that doesn’t make it any less of an opinion. I think saying you hate that comment isn’t an opinion worth sharping- see, all subjective. Again, if you’re too sensitive to hear people’s honest impressions then best to just not ask for them.
